Analysis
What drives eviction risk in Chico
What pushes it up most is tenant-organizing strength at 9.5/10. Running hot, rent-regulation exposure reads 8.6/10. Sitting well above the midpoint, housing-court posture reads 8.4/10.
44% of renter households cross the 30%-of-income line, below the Butte County average of 49.5%. Food insecurity runs 8.8% against 17.8% nationally.
The filing record is not thin: 7 evictions over 1 years of observation. The voucher gap is 12.6%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which surfaces as churn rather than arrears. Average gross rent is $1,650, 11% above the Chico average.
Filings peaked in 2014 at 0.8% of renter households. In a typical year about 0.8% of renter households face a filing. That is riskier than roughly 80% of the 84,120 US census tracts in this model.
Social vulnerability reads 6.4/10 on the CDC index, a measure of exposure to housing and economic shocks. Statewide the CA average is 7.5, so this tract runs 1.2 points cooler.
